} Yesterday great interest was manifested
by the people of Liverpool on the arriva
OF Her Majesty Kapiolani, Queen of Ha
waii, who mas left her distant island in
the Pacific to do honor to the Jubilee Of
Queen Victoria. Like the historic sovereign
OF Sheba, she has come to see with heI
own eyes the glory of reigning Sovereign
and especially to take part in the festivi-
ties which are to be held in celebration OF
an event throughout the Kingdom and
an Empire such as Solomon never ruled
over. Queen Kapiolani after a pleasant
run to San Francisco, which is only a
few days journey distant from her
island home, arrived IN due course in
| New York and embarked there on
Wednesday week in the City of Rome of
the Anchor line. The trip across the At
lantic in superbly equipped vessel, COM
manded by Captain Munroe, was of the
! most agreeable description, and during
! the voyage the members of the suite es-
! pecially proved themselves pleasant COM
! panions, and left the ship at the bar yes

honor should be paid to the Queen on her

day, it being supposed that the City of
Rome would be able to cross the bar with
the morning tide. 1t had also been ar

caused to the Royal party by the Customs
